Cyril JANDA 
Cyril was born on February 2nd, 1858 in Plesice, Moravia, Czechoslovakia. Cyril's father was Thomas JANDA and his mother was Marianna SEDLACEK. His paternal grandparents were Tomas JANDA and Elenora PROKES; his maternal grandfather was Frantisek SEDLACEK and his maternal grandmother is Marianna MANOV.. He had five brothers and three sisters, named Thomas, Anton, Frantisek, Jacub, Josef, Frantiska, Petronila and Karolina. He had two half-brothers and a half-sister, named Jan (John), Jacub and Marie. He died at the age of 84 in 1942 in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. He was buried in April 1942.General Notes
My G. Grandfather, Cyrill Janda 's possibly was a James Cyrill Janda.
I saw this on One of his children s birth records, Celia, which I have in my
records. I have seen several mistakes in these old church records though.
On his funeral information card, it puts his birth year at 1859. All other
things including obituary and write ups about their 60th anniv. show 1860.
The grave stone in Plattsmouth says 1858. I've been taught to go with the
grave.
He started the committee and was Chairman of the committee that built the Holy Rosary Catholic Church. Many of my other relatives helped including my
G.Grandfather Anton Toman who was Vice-president of this committee. Cyrill's
brother, Thomas was the treasurer. Another brother Frank was credited with the
beautiful decoration and design of the interior.
According to the Plattsmouth register of deeds, at their court house, in Book 16, page 590, Cyrill bought a house on August 13, 1888. It also shows a James who purchased a house 10-4-1879, about the time that they arrived in the USA.
The reason I mention this is because of the conflicting report, as mentioned in this first line above.
His will was made on Dec. 16, 1941, in Plattsmouth.

"bobbie and doad-ee." I knew she meant her grandparents. On her way home from school, she would visit Babi and speak Czech to her, because Babi never picked up on English too well. She also talked about her Janda grandparents, but it was a long time before I got it straight that they were the same people. Cyrill and Pauline were known as Babi & Dodi, and that's what she has written on the backs of their pictures. When she sent some of these things to me, she wrote "Dodi made this cross," and the black heavy scarf I've always had was "Babi's scarf she brought from Czechoslovakia."
